Calgary Flames quietly leading the NHL in preseason standings

[Letsdothis]

With a win over Kraken, they are #1 in the standings. 6 games, 5 wins and 1 OTL. Only team that doesn't have a regulation loss so far.

A lot of guys were writing them off prior to the season. But that team still has a lot of talent and they are hungry to prove themselves. Are they going to be a playoff team again?

Who do you think Backlund will hand the Preseason Cup to first?

 

[robsenz]

oh boy

 

[syz]

Skip the regular season and just have the Sabres and Flames play a series for the cup, tbh. Save everybody a lot of time.

I hope i get the invite to the preseason cup party. Can't wait!

Dude its freaking preseason. Calgary just beating a bunch of AHL rosters dont mean anything just like how they beat Canucks last year in preseason 10-0 only to finish out of playoffs while Canucks won the division. Preseason means absolutely nothing

Huberdeau for sure

I still cant forget people writing off Canucks last year because of their 10-0 loss to Flames in preseason. Never change Hfboard

Bet on them heavily, irresponsibly so.

 

[norrisnick]

As soon as the spawn of Brian Savage makes the show the Wings will have preseason on lock down.

Take out a mortgage if you have to. Ez money guaranteed.

Remember the historically bad 2017 Avalanche? They won all their preseason games.

It's pretty meaningless.

I’ll take the reverse jinx. 1OA would be nice

 

[Oilslick941611]

wow, thats amazing.


Its preseason, who cares.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Michkov wins the preseason Art Ross too. Very exciting.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I like a lot of their players especially the forwards. Miromanov I think is could be a real find, if he can play well with Weegar and Andersson they will be better than expected.

However the rest of the defense and goaltending will fail them most likely. They just lost so much talent there.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

It's quiet because no one gives a shit about preseason records.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Preseason is preseason

I think they can come in 4th5th for the division. Can they squeeze into a wild card? Maybe.

I see

Jets
Smashville
Avalanche.
Stars


Wild

Making it

Pacific

Canucks
 OILERS
Vegas
Kings

Then

Kraken v Calgary and Wild have to fight out and make a Wild card.

Maybe Utah becomes sneaky.

Edit: oilers over Flames mb

The Decade of Darkness Oiler teams with Hall-Eberle had some very good preseasons too lol. I think one of the years they even had a red hot first 6 or 7 games into the season before completely falling apart.

 

[HolyGhost]

I love stupid jinx pre season threads

 

[Mobiandi]

Top 3 pick, here we come

 

[PuckG]

It wasn’t too long ago that the Flames were considered the best 5v5 team in hockey for a full regular season - all to get decimated by the Oilers in the playoffs and have both their stars running off to a different country.

Anyways…back to the preseason cup.
